Shining Silver Haze

With over two decades of experience in the cannabis growing industry, the guys at Royal Queen Seeds in the Netherlands have more than enough knowledge to produce some fantastic strains for all levels of cultivators. Their products have won much respect over the years and Shining Silver Haze is a variety that certainly demands some attention. Though the exact genetic composition is a closely guarded secret, we do know that this strain is a rare, sativa-dominant member of the Haze family that began life in the U.S. in the marijuana heyday of the 70s. We also know that it is a blend of Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Jamaican plants that bring power in both growth and smoke as well as a whole ruck of juicy, potent buds.

If you’re an indoor grower with a limited amount of space, Shining Silver Haze might be a perfect choice for a productive grow. With a maximum height of just under 3 feet, it fits into most smaller grow rooms and can yield up to 450 grams per square yard of grow space. The flowering time has also been reduced; whereas pure Haze varieties sometimes take as long as 14 weeks to finish, Shining Silver Haze will be ready in just 9. The plants are tolerant to nutrients but can burn if you feed them excessively, so be sure to keep a close eye on the color and shape of your leaves – yellowing or other discoloration could be a sign that you’re giving them too much.

Though this strain was designed primarily as an indoor plant, she won’t exactly be annoyed if you plant her outdoors; just make sure that you give her lots of water if you’re growing in a warmer climate and disguise your plants as much as possible; even if you’re a legal grower there are predators other than the law waiting to pop your crop! These plants can also adapt well to a deep water culture setup. If you choose to go down this route, or any hydro setup, you should be rigorous in checking your grow every day and monitoring all variables; it’s easy for one thing to go wrong and ruin your grow before you know what’s happening.

Every toker loves a Haze high, and this one has the added bonus of bringing on a fierce body stone as well as the usual mind melt. Shining Silver Haze almost has the effect of pulling you in two different directions; it makes your body heavier and your mind lighter, which might make you feel like you’re on something of an emotional rack, but hey, it’s an enjoyable ride!
